Quote of the day : "The brave man knows the fear 3 times in his life. The first is when he sees footprints of lion, the second when he hears the lion , and the third time when he spots the lion". Song of the day : The Warner Brothers: * Lonely * Am I not that funny?

Yeeehaaa, I'm back. You're all happy, aren't you. Well, you should be. Brownie McGhee was born Walter Brown McGhee in Knoxville, Tennessee in 1915 and suffered from polio as a child, which incapacitated his leg. His Brother is of course Stick ‘Spo-Dee-O-Dee‘ McGhee. Sonny Terry wasn't born blind -- he lost sight in one eye when he was five, the other at age 18. That left him with extremely limited options for making any sort of feasible living, so he took to the streets armed with his trusty harmonicas. Terry soon joined forces with Piedmont pioneer Blind Boy Fuller, first recording with the guitarist in 1937 for Vocalion. McGhee first met Sonny Terry in North Carolina in 1939 and worked with him and singer Paul Robeson in Washington, DC, in 1940. McGhee began to record for Okeh Records in 1940. He had Sonny Terry play on his recording session of Workingman's Blues, and a long-standing partnership was formed. Shortly after they relocated and broke into the New York ...

There's suave, ultra-suave and even, as the Legendary Stardust Cowboy would tell ya, psycho-suave, but the drawling, lazy-as-hell vocal and the mean'n'evil descending guitar line on Kip Tyler's LA hipster masterpiece pretty much out-suaves everybody. And Sandy ‘Casbah’ Nelson was on drums... Kip Tyler: * She's My Witch * (this ones for Missus Frost of course) * Rumble Rock * I'm taking the week off folks. Have a good one.

Louisiana ! Rockin' Sidney Simien was born into a sharecropper's family in the tiny farming community of Lebeau, St. Landry Parish, Louisiana. He was a veteran Cajun-Zydeco musician who played almost every style of music, from the Caribbean beat to blues. Although his success is based upon his identity within the Zydeco music community, Sidney did not start out playing the accordion or seeking fame as a Zydeco artist. He sort of stumbled into it in the mid 1970s, having tried his hand at swamp pop and the blues. Heavily influenced by local legends like Slim Harpo and Cookie & the Cupcakes, Sidney made his first R&B-styled recordings on the Louisiana record labels Fame and Jin during the late 1950s. He was often backed by George Lewis on harmonica and Katie Webster on piano. Rockin’ Sidney also recorded on Rod Records. Donning a turban, he came to Goldband in 1965 as the "Count Rockin' Sidney," and continued to record R&B and soul numbers including ...

Mahalia Jackson reigned as a pioneer interpreter of gospel music whose fervent contralto was one of the great voices of this century. Both gospel and rhythm & blues had their roots in the Sanctified church, but whereas blues and R&B departed on secular paths that led to rock and roll, gospel stayed the spiritual course. Nonetheless, the influence of gospel on R&B and rock and roll, especially through such force-of-nature voices as Jackson’s, is inescapable. Little Richard has cited Jackson as an inspiration, calling her “the true queen of spiritual singers.” In Jackson’s own words, “Rock and roll was stolen out of the sanctified church!” Certainly, in the unleashed frenzy of the “spirit feel” style of gospel epitomized by such singers as Mahalia Jackson, Marion Williams and Sister Rosetta Tharpe, one can hear the rousing roots of rock and roll. One of Jackson’s accompanists was keyboardist Billy Preston ! Mahalia Jackson was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, on October 26, 19...

Born Benjamin Franklin Peay in Camden, South Carolina in 1931, Brook Benton found steady work making hundreds of demo records for such established singers as Nat King Cole, Clyde McPhatter, and Roy Hamilton. He co-wrote a number of songs with Clyde Otis. Together they pioneered a lush, violin-studded variation on the standard R&B sound, which beautifully showcased Benton's intimate vocals ! He first recorded under his own name for the Okeh label in 1953. Benton signed as a solo act with Epic and had his first minor hit with A Million Miles From Nowhere on Vik. He went on to Mercury along with Clyde Otis and arranger Belford Hendricks, and it was at Mercury that he would meet with his greatest success. He died in New York City in 1988 of complications from spinal meningitis. Anyway, When Brook Benton sang, you listened.

Arch Hall Jr. is a teen actor and musician who appeared in a number of 1960s films, all of which were produced by his father, Arch Hall Sr. Most of Arch Hall Jr.'s films feature his musical abilities, particularly a teenage tenor and swamp blues inflected, guitar riffs. Hall was also the frontman for the rock n' roll combo Arch Hall Jr. and the Archers. The band played Sunset Strip clubs such as the Whisky a Go Go and Pandora's Box. For the most part the films produced by the Halls and their associates, which at one point included cult director Ray Dennis Steckler, are considered B-movies (which means, religion to me). My fav of course is The Sadist (1963), where Hall portrayed a psychopathic killer based in part on teenage murderer Charles Starkweather. YEAH !

Rocka-Rocka-Rockabilly legend Mac Curtis was born in Fort Worth, TX, on January 16, 1939. In 1954, he decided to play music with his schoolmates Jim Galbraith and Ken Galbraith. They were enamored with artists like Big Joe Turner, Chuck Berry, and Little Richard, wanting to create a similar sound in their group. The band began playing for their peers, even causing a minor controversy when they were pulled from a stage for lewd and suggestive gyrations ! In 1955, they signed a contract with King Records, and in 1956 recorded their first single, "If I Had Me a Woman." ! Here’s a complete biography for your own culture ^_^ As always, buy his Lp’s, you won’t regret it. Mac Curtis: * If I Had Me A Woman * * Goose Bumps * * Half Hearted Love * See you next week my dears. And don't forget to kill the rabbit.

Frank Frost was my dad ! Ok, sorry, I wish he was. But man, he was born in in Auvergne, Arkansas. Which is, for you french readers, a good joke. Well well well. Frost & his ally Sam Carr were one of the first acts Sam Philips picked up for his newly formed company. Hey Boss Man!, issued on Sun's Phillips International subsidiary as by Frank Frost and the Nighthawks, was a wonderful collection of uncompromising Southern blues. Pelvis Presley's ex-guitarist Scotty Moore produced Frost's next sessions in Nashville in 1966 for Jewel Records. Chicago blues fan Michael Frank sought out Frost in 1975. He located Frost playing inside Johnson's Clarksdale tavern, the Black Fox. Mesmerized by their sound, Frost soon formed his own record label, Earwig, to capture their raw, charismatic brand of blues. In the years following, Frost waxed his own Earwig album (1988's Midnight Prowler) and appeared on Atlantic's 1992 Deep Blues soundtrack -- an acclaimed film that reinfo...
